'Died of Bright's disease" has be-
come a familiar phrase in obituary
notices. 1t has become so much
more common that the general i'm
preston is that the disease is more
prevalent than in former periods.
The statistics of the New York Bureau
of Vital Statistics seem to verify this
impression. In 1871 Bnght's disease
was seventh in order of fatality. In
1885 it was fifth. In 1871 the total
deaths were 26,977; of Bright's
disease, 1,030. In 1885 it supplied
1904 out of total of 35, ,582; cases Of
this disease increased in fourteen
years 100 per cent, while the total
number of deaths increased 80 per
cent

The Chicago Mail is of the opinion
that ''unless something is done to
stop the flow of oil and gas, this old
earth of ours will collapse one of these
days" As oil aud gas comes from
porous rock that occupies as much
space after the gas and oil are ex-
hausted as before, and reslsts pressure
in one case as well as in the other,
the idea of collapse does not appear
sensible.

GEOLOGICAL PUZZLES.

nhinS vi coal AZ the depth OF
500 feet in the Alta mine is not the
only puzzle of the kind which this
section OF country affords. In Ell
dorado Canyon, near the Como mines,
is thrust in between two ridges OF
granite and other volcanic rocks an
apparently bottomless basin of sedi-
mentary rocks containing ignite or
brown coal. Two of these veins are
three or four feet in thickness. A
shaft was sunk in this sedimentary
basin in 1894 by the Virginia City
Coal Company, of which Hon. r. NJ.
Daggett was a prominent member.
After passing through the two beds
OF coal mentioned above they con-
tlnued sinking their main shaft until
more water was found than they
could handle. About $50 feet below
the surface, and near the point where
the work was discontinued, they en-
countered the trunk of q tree four
feet IN diameter. Where cut through
by the shaft the old tree was found
to be perfectly carbonized-turned to
coal. On the outside the log was
completely crusted over with iron
pyrites in crystals, many of which
were so bright that they flashed like
diamonds when seen by the gaslight.
The pyrites also extended into the
body OF the log, filling what was once
apparently cracks or windshakes,
and forming large and brilliant clus-
ters about what was once the heart Of
the tree.
AS the log was found far below the
two veins Of coal, it would seem that
ages and ages ago all this part Of
Nevada was covered with forests OF
large trees. After that there are In.
dIcations that the whole country was
fooded-became region of lakes.
In the early days remains of trees,
perfectly petri6ed, were to be seen
in many places. At American Flat
was one log about thirty feet long
and nearly two feet in diameter. and
there were many smaller logs lying
upon the surface about Spring Val
ley. These logs were broken to
pieces by the early prospectors in
search of wood opal-petrifed pine
gum as they called it. On the top
of high mountain south of American
Flat is bed of washed gravel that
was once part of the bed of lake or
stream. The mountain was probably
pushed up through the bottom of the
lake. AT the mouth of Ell Dorado
Canyon, in bed of sedimentary rock,
are to be seen horse tracks and the
tracks of other animals. They are
probably of about the same age as
the tracks of elephants and other ami.
mails found at the Prison quarries
near Carson. The water lines on the
hills, which are in many places as
distinctly visible as though made g
month ago, show that at one period
all the country was an inland sea
above which the tops of the present
mountains appeared as islands. The
indications are that the elephants and
the forests of large trees existed be
fore the country was flooded.

The THUGS INDIcTED-The San
Francisco Examiner created a sensa-
ton recently by giving a detailed ac-
count of the operations of gang of
thugs who conspired to murder GER
tain individuals whose lives they had
insured. The names of the conspira-
tors and of their intended victims
were given, as well as minute des-
cription of their methods of disposing
of their victims. Nearly all other
San Francisco papers ridiculed the
Examiners statement, and encourag-
ed the conspirators to prosecute that
journal for libel. The Examiner, un-
daunted by threats, continued to ex-
pose the operations of the thugs as
fast as experienced reporters could
unearth them, and the Grand Jury
has substantiated its charges by in
dieting DR.. J. H. Josselyn, Isaac Silva
and F. w. Demarest for csnspiring to
murder William B. Drew for the in
surance of $4,000 which they had up
on his life.
DR.. Josselyn has an unsavory repu-
tation in San Francisco, and this is
not the first time that he has been in
dicated. He has powerful allies,
however, and there is but little dan
ger of his conviction if it can be pre-
vented by money.-[Silver State.

The only thing that is realIv needed
= q more united effort on the part Of

not more successful than Mormon
educators. They might be for a
mere show more energetic in getting
together in the capacity of conven.
slons, but as to ability they are not
equal. The Democrat expresses
its belief that the Church school.
will eventually pass into the hands of
the Gentiles. Not so. These are
private institutions, in no wise under

the school interest of Utah is now he.

carpet-baggers who are
attempting to enforce
damnable, man-made laws in oppo-
sition to the Government of God.
This hobby, like other Gentle bron-
chos, will soon be ridden to hell and
Mormon schools and Celestial mar
riage will live in the land when the
United States government with a
lower case g is sunk in oblivion"
-[Southern Utopian.
The foregoing is glittering sam
pie OF Mormon journalism. 1t ema-
mates from the pen of Mormon
man sent abroad to
preach the new gospel unto heather
lands and spread the effulgent rays
of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints throughout the
world. He is eminently fitted for
this position. He ought to be sue
cessful. A man who can deliver
himself Of such filthy and blasphe-
nous sloughing is in every way quail
flied for Mormon Bishop. And yet
this man is no doubt as honest and
sincere as any of them. He is not
polite; he does not exercise very
good judgment; but his love for and
loyalty to the United States govern
ment is just as great as that of any
other member of the Mormon church.
He voices the sentiments of all
Mormondom when he says that "Mor-
mon schools and Celestial marriage
will live in the land when the United
States government is sunk in OBJ
livion." The man is simply lechsr-
Gus beast-a worthy representative of
a rotten, filthy, disgusting abortion on
religion-and his vaporings are utter
ly unworthy of notice except as they
voice the sentiments and feelings of
the church at large Idaho Reporter.

A Curious Point Of Law.

An application was tho other day
made by Judge Bartlett, in the Kings
county Supreme Court, for an order
authorizing the payment of money out
of an estate, the petitioner having be-
come of age and entitled to it under the
provisions Of will.
"a man cannot know his own ago."
observed the judge, as no looked up af-
ter reading the affidavit.
Cant he swear TO it ?" asked tho pc
titioner's lawyer.
"No. He will have to get some one
who knows"
"Well, | think his mother will DO able
to swear to it," said tho lawyer, as no
gathered up his papers. "Tho boy was
there at the time, l presume, but posi-
bly, his memory is defective"
Anyway, it's point Of law. said an
other lawyer.

Now let us hear from the masculine ang
lers.
A 10 year old boy from Cambridge
named Charles Gray appropriated S25 be-
longing to his mother Tuesday, and came
to Burlington. His mother got trace OF
the young man and following on the
evening train. He was found in company
with Jacob Brockney, a well known news
boy, who was going to initiate him into
the pleasures of city life. When Officer
Dumas found the boys they were just
about ready to start out for ride. They
had not succeeded in spending over 40
cents of the amount taken. The boy
travelled back to Cambridge Wednesday in
company with his mother.
Umpire Waterman states that he did
not change his decision in the game atSt.
| Adams Wednesday AS announced III our
report of the game, as the only decision
that he gave was to the effect that the
base runner was safe. The misunder-
standing was undoubtedly due to the
boisterous yelling on the part of the crowd
which made it impossible TO understand
many of the decisions few feet away
from the plate. The management of the
various associations must take measures
to keep the crowd more quiet unless they
desire the better class of people to become
Disguised and remain away from the
games entirely. This applies to Rutland,
Burlington, Montpelier ana st. Adams.
